South Carolina women’s basketball loses to Texas, ending 57-game SEC winning streak
Dawn Staley entered the Moody Center on the University of Texas campus Sunday hoping that her South Carolina women’s basketball team would extend its SEC winning streak and her beloved Philadelphia Eagles would beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59.
She left the arena with only the Eagles’ dreams still alive.
Behind all-American forward Madison Booker, who had a game-high 20 points and 11 rebounds, No. 6 Texas defeated Staley’s No. 2 Gamecocks 66-62 Sunday, ending South Carolina’s 57-game SEC winning streak.
Before Sunday, the Gamecocks, the reigning national champions, hadn’t lost to a conference opponent in the regular season since December 2021, when they fell 70-69 on the road in overtime against Missouri.
The loss was just the second of the season for South Carolina, ending a 17-game win streak that began after its Nov. 24 loss to a UCLA team that has since risen up to No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Along with Booker, Kyla Oldacre and Taylor Jones finished in double figures for Texas, scoring 13 and 11 points, respectively. Jones also had a game-high four steals.
It was the eighth consecutive win for the Longhorns, who improved to 24-2 overall and 10-1 in SEC play, tying them with South Carolina atop the league standings. The Gamecocks had won the previous matchup between the programs this season, defeating Texas 67-50 on Jan. 12 at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina.
Though Booker didn’t shoot particularly well, making only seven of her 22 attempts from the field, her rebounding ended many of South Carolina’s possessions on a day in which it shot just 36.8% overall and 26.3% from 3-point range.
She provided timely baskets, too, none of which were more important than a 3-point play with 5:09 remaining in the fourth quarter that stretched Texas’ lead from two to five. After making the layup, and before heading to the free-throw line, she threw a “Horns Up” hand sign to the ESPN camera along the baseline.
“Last time, we got out-toughed,” Booker said in a postgame interview with ESPN’s Holly Rowe. “This time, we out-toughed them today. We won all the battles.”
With Staley, a Philadelphia native, on the bench wearing a Super Bowl 59 Eagles hoodie, South Carolina missed eight of its final 10 shots, including a Tessa Johnson layup attempt that would have tied the game with 15 seconds remaining, but sailed over the top of the backboard trying to avoid the outstretched reach of Longhorns guard Jordan Lee. Rori Harmon calmly sank two free throws on the other end to seal the victory for Texas.
MiLaysia Fulwiley was the only South Carolina player to finish in double figures, scoring 13 points and snagging three steals.
The Longhorns and Gamecocks are two of four SEC teams with just one loss in conference play, a group that also includes No. 4 LSU and No. 11 Kentucky. South Carolina has no games remaining against LSU, but will wrap up its regular season on March 2 against Kentucky. Texas, meanwhile, plays both the Wildcats and Tigers this week, traveling to Kentucky on Thursday before hosting LSU next Sunday.
Like its male counterpart, SEC women’s basketball has been excellent this season, with eight teams in the top 25 of the latest Coaches Poll, including three of the top six and four of the top 11.

A man in Texas, suspicious about his newly acquired truck, decided to take a look inside. To his surprise, he found a GPS tracker that was monitoring his every move. As expected, people online reacted as they normally do: a collective meltdown.
The man in question is none other than David Allen, also known as ToTouchAnEmu. He is a very popular content creator who has over 9.8 million followers on TikTok alone.
And while he shares a wide variety of content, one of his latest videos addresses this apparent breach of privacy. He detailed how he was surprised and overwhelmed as he went through the terms and conditions after purchasing his new truck.

His dealer had signed him up and paid for a one-year subscription to CarRx, a platform and mobile app that monitors vehicles’ data. David, however, was not too thrilled to find out exactly what that meant.
Tracking Everything
For starters, he showed that, under the terms and conditions, CarRx would sell all collected information to third parties. David was not too worried about that.
Instead, he showed all the data that the platform collects from vehicles. Understandably, he was shocked.
Monitored information includes the car’s VIN, mileage, oil and battery status, fuel, and charging history. The platform can also track a vehicle’s location, speed, crash detection alerts, braking events, and even camera image and sensor data.
Finding the Tracker
David, still astounded by the revelation, knew that something was fishy. He asked, “I start thinking, how do they know all that information about my car if they don’t have some sort of GPS tracker on it?”

And to no one’s surprise, and thanks to a Google search, it turns out that there was, in fact, a tracker installed in David’s truck. And not willing to let it slide, the man got to work immediately.
The Texas man searched for the tracker near the OBD port. He noticed a Y-cable right below it and found the tracker connected to it. The tracker had an IMEI, meaning that it had a SIM card in it, so tracking is pretty much a guarantee.
Viewers React Accordingly
Of course, David’s video caused a multitude of reactions. Some took issue with how he labeled his SUV a truck, but most viewers were worried about their privacy.
“We need data privacy laws stat!” one said. Another one commented, “This isn’t new, unfortunately. I used to work for GM; they track everything. In real time.”

The latter comment seemed to echo the majority of reactions. Other users, former car dealership employees themselves, said the exact same thing.
